Hmmm...my Merieke Ri Berit deck may not care all that much about in entering tapped, but I wonder how often I'll have enough devotion to any one color to make it worth it. I may have to do some testing.

Xenagos has a much more impactful effect, and can get crazy quickly. Klothys doesn't seem all that impressive, honestly.

VS.

For reference: Yarok, the Desecrated Clone Legion Let's say I've got a pretty full board of creatures with ETB effects, as well as Yarok itself. When I cast Clone Legion targeting myself, will the new clone token Yarok allow an additional set of ETB triggers before the Legend rule causes it to die?

There's just something ugly and cheap-looking about Commanding Presence to me. Not only that, but it doesn't really match the name or function of the card. It looks like it should be some kind of Insurrection variant. There is something to be said for an art style that deviates from MtG's current ma...

Commanding Presence Are you not horrified? Do your retinas not burn? Are you not enraged at your being subjected to it? Who thought this was okay? Is it the end of days? It looks like some of the wonky goofiness of Magic's earliest days, like this unspeakable abomination: Reverse Polarity Truly, th...

Cutting local game stores out of the supply chain is unacceptable to me, and I'd quit Magic before supporting WotC/Hasbro in such an undertaking. Local game stores played a huge part in why the game is as massive as it is today, and to hobble them and leave them to die is unconscionable. tl;dr: %$#%...

This is janky jank from the bowels of Janktown. People seem to be ignoring the fact that an opponent is going to cast the best card, and the fact that lands could take up a hefty chunk of what remains. There are way better options than this. Love that Seb art, though.

This clearly sets up Theros 3, or Th3ros, or Theros: Hell on Earth, or Theros with a Vengeance.

It's good to have him back, and even though I prefer the original art, this one's still pretty darn nice looking.

So has Klothys been around forever, and just kept a low profile during the events of Theros? Is she newly ascended to godhood? How many faces does she actually have? Are they female too? Is/was she some kind of satyr?

Even if any of these appealed to me, they weren't worth the asking price, but more importantly, I don't appreciate them cutting LGS's out of the equation. Many of them are already struggling, but they were instrumental in growing the game to where it is now, and the idea of cutting them out is disco...

Oathbreaker, much like Tiny Leaders, never passed the smell test for me. I couldn't envision it being a better or deeper play experience than Commander, so I never bothered. Commander is the greatest, so when I hear of any new format whose description is "It's like Commander except...," it...

I am impressed by the fact that he answered so many questions. I am also relieved by his stance on wishes. I am surprised the 100-card limitation has been coming up in discussion. Agreed on both counts. Wishing would undermine a lot of what I love about the format. Also, making 100 cards a minimum ...

The best way to protect your graveyard is to protect yourself. Bojuka Bog and similar cards target the player, not the graveyard itself. Giving your self hexproof with Witchbane Orb or Orbs of Warding would be a good place to start.

Man, that was a quick return for Sagas! I'm also interested in the demigod creature type and if they have any support for that. And one of my EDH decks is always happy to have another enchantress.

This may be old news to some, but Christine Sprankle will be a guest at CommandFest DC . I had no idea that she was coming back to cosplay, and now I'm even more disappointed that I wasn't able to clear my schedule to go to CommandFest DC. I really like Christine, and I really feel she was treated p...

Cool! Thanks for listening!

That was cool to watch. The rise of Meren was dramatic! It is a little gross how many Atraxa decks are out there, but hey, none of the commanders I run are anywhere near the top. God, I'm a hipster. Same! The commanders that speak to me generally aren't very popular. I did recently build a Yarok, t...

I only run Bribery in a single deck, which is Yarok, the Desecrated. I run it for two reasons:

1. It's pretty likely to get, at minimum, decent value out of it with Yarok on the field.
2. I bought a copy of the judge foil from a judge a few years back, and I feel that I must.

I was curious about the position of the General Discussion forum. Why is it on the very bottom of the 'Magic Discussion' list? It seems strange. I wouldn't think it would be further than third from the top, and suspect that its sparse activity is a result of that. It seems like the place where most ...

Mana Burn. Fireheart can probably cause some real impactful damage, but only after investing a massive amount of mana. Mechanized Production vs. Revel in Riches Side note, whoever fixed the site's formatting so that the 'vs.' appears between the two card images and not awkwardly under them, thank you.

Question, is this thread truly random? All I ever see discussed are format staples and/or higher rarities. You'd think total worthless jank like...I don't know...Teferi's Drake would show up once in a while.

Have they confirmed that all of the gods are returning? That would eat up every mythic slot, right? Well, 14 mythic slots considering Athreos, or 13 if Xenagos's place is still vacant.

I dunno. Don't really care either tbh, I just figured not every question in an AMA needs to be a heavy philosophical MTG question; we take this pretty seriously and I assume that gets a little tiresome for someone in Sheldon's position. Aside from that I have no serious questions for him. I'm prett...
